We're here to show you why Ubuntu is the most compelling solution for your computing needs on everything from your Aunt's mobile phone to your Professor's supercomputer, and everything in between. We're here to show you that when we all share information about and collaborate on an awesome system and project like Ubuntu, we can build a stronger local community in Vancouver and a thriving local ecosystem for innovation. We're determined to help stop the export of dollars to faraway places for technology that does not serve us.
